Supporting Materials1.1 Review of Other State PlansSeveral states and tribes have already completed Wetland Program Plans. IDEM and its partners reviewed allavailable plans at the time of project initiation and selected a few plans that were based upon a similarenvironmental or regulatory landscape as Indiana. These plans and their approaches were evaluatedmore intensely and interviews were conducted with agency staff in those states. A summary of otherstate’s WPP highlights, approaches, and other advancements are presented below.WisconsinVoluntary Restoration Outreach; Utilizes “two-pronged” approach to reach landowners Direct outreach to key landownerso Handbook development and distributiono Incorporate wetland info into existing outreacho Connect wetland landowners to development community Direct outreach to nat. resource managerso Facilitate programs to reach natural resource managerso Improve distribution of wetland info to managerso Develop key material list to distribute to managersKentuckyWPP in progress Have dedicated staff person to coordinate and implement plan Kentucky DFWR and Northern Kentucky University run an in-lieu fee program to restore wetlands for401/404 mitigation. Developing a rapid wetland assessment method in collaboration with Eastern Kentucky University.Also developing vegetation, amphibian, macroinvertebrate, and avian indices of biotic integrity. Supplied funding to Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) to develop a model for determining wetlandlocation and type using remote sensing and GIS.North CarolinaMonitoring and Assessment NC monitoring rapid assessment, WQ, bio surveys (veg, macros, amphibians, etc.), GIS landuse Using data to show correlation and non-correlations and refine what data’s being collected Coastal Explorers education tool – interactive, kid-friendly, GIS dataMichiganWetland Function - Landscape Level Wetland Functional Assessment (LLWFA) Developed under Wetland Program Development Grant in 2008; covers part of NE IN Based on USFWS Northeast Region methodology Refined and updated to reflect the regional differences in wetland ecosystems Utilizes NWI platform base of Cowardin system Additional characteristics that influence wetland functions to be added (Based on Hydrogeomorphicclassification system – HGM)o Better characterization of wetlands and waterbodieso Predicting wetland functions at landscape levelo Identifying potential wetland restoration/protection sitesIndiana Department of Environmental ManagementINDIANA Wetland Program PlanSupporting Materials 1
MinnesotaCoordination and Training Minnesota has an Interagency Wetland Group (IWG) which meets monthly to address wetlands. TheIWG has a rotating chair, vice-chair, and secretary, and maintains large distribution list of all partnersinvolved in wetland regulation. IWG brings continual attention to existing incentive programs/recognition. Wetland management responsibilities are federal, state, and locally administered so there are a lot ofpeople involved. State provides wetland delineation training, certification program, 2-3 day annual training for allpermit administrators for updates on regulations, methodologies, monitoring, functions. Currently working on NWI update, adding functional descriptors.1.2 Complete Wetland Program Plan Survey Results (as submitted)A comprehensive survey was conducted early in the plan development process to garner information aboutthe publics' knowledge and opinions regarding wetlands. The survey also helped identify potential stakeholderdata sources for future wetland related initiatives.

When the Wetland Science Advisory Group was meeting, many of the "non-field" advisersindicated the only "real" wetlands were Class 3, most of which were protected or Nature Preserves. With regardto the most common wetlands, which are degraded, one Director of a DNR Division flatly stated "we don't careabout those". That view was echoed by several of the academics who clearly didn't believe many of the lowquality wetlands were actually wetland. I offer this for context, when many think of wetlands they think of naturepreserves and not the degraded areas that make up the majority of wetlands. When I think about outstandingwetland resources I think about large, diverse (cover-type) contiguous blocks such as Eagle Marsh, Fox Island,Openings.
